Reflections of HoustonDowntown Houston has the most spectacular examples of building reflections that I have ever seen. In 2008, from a huge collection of photos taken over a couple of years, I attempted to capture some of those reflections in fabric but gave up.
When the "Reflections" theme was announced in June, I made an on line commitment to do the Houston sky scraper reflections. I thought I would use photographs in various ways but my equipment was not up to the task and once again I was left trying to produce shiny images from flat cloth. At least 12 inches was less daunting .
Great job Marion! It really does capture the views we had from our hotel window. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think the composition is very strong, Marion, and I love the way you have used commercial fabrics. I think your use of varying weights of thread is also very effective. There's just something about grids, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteI was very tempted to do those wonderful reflections, Marion. They have 'conned' me into taking pictures of them year after year. You have done a great job - captured them perfectly.

Very clever, well done. Takes me back to my trip to Houston and the photos I took. I think the building reflections in Houston must be the most photographed in the city.
ReplyDeletewhat a great cityscape. Nice perspective lines. And I can almost feel the heat sizzling off those buildings.
